In this thread, which will probably be populated by only myself, we discuss Halo PC: the online game where the insta-death via Pistol is only three clicks of a mouse away. Also there are Fuel Rod Guns. And Flamethrowers. And Banshees in multiplayer.
Anyone else here play it?

In the darkest, deepest depths of my Halo 2 despair, with XBC no longer a viable option (my connection at school isn't capable), I turned to Halo PC. I hooked up an Xbox 360 controller to one of my computer's USB ports, set the buttons up to do what they were supposed to, and pretended I was playing Halo 1 online. It was glorious, and with the reduced auto-aim, it was undoubtedly good for "the skills."

Haha, I played it the other day. I don't care what you say, Blood Gulch CTF does not get old. Ever.

I know I`m posting nearly a year after the last message but I just had to post my agreement with Frosts statement.

I played Halo PC online pretty much solidly for 2 years and I rekon a good 70% of that time was spent playing ctf on the Gulch My clan used to set our server to 1 hour time limit on CTF with no limit on captures. I used to rack up 150+ kills quite regularly.

Halo PC makes me wonder what would have happened if the XBL Marketplace version of Halo CE had been granted online multiplayer. sigh.....

Yes. It's somewhat funny that people are still debating that if you download HALO CE on XBL it will allow for online mulitiplayer. I heard it yesterday 3 times in a game lobby. Somewhere in the back of these ones minds they still fantasize about being able to do it even after being told that "It's not possible." Gotta laugh.

How much is Halo PC nowadays? Is there any place I can buy it new, or is it out of print and can only be bought used? I've also been looking to buy Halo 2 PC but I can't find it anywhere new either.
I've been looking to buy it for a while now and since Bungie has a new use for the PC Keys and I just got a new laptop for my birthday, I figure its about time to spring for a copy. Plus, the Halo 2 achievements should be easy and is attractive to an achievement whore like myself

eBay is your friend. Plenty of copies on there of each and cheap too. New or owned.

I'm just a little concerned the owner would have already entered their pc key in b.net, so I'd rather buy new. I'm trying to get the Halo 1 nameplate in Reach (that and I miss some of the crazy mods for singleplayer like some of BOLL's stuff from the old days - pistol shooting tank rounds, AR shooting sniper rounds, shotgun shooting plasma grenades, etc.).
